Van Der Merwe then scored the second Scottish try in the 50th minute with a powerful charge of which the winger had the secret, transformed by Russell, bringing the score to 17-6. Despite a slight Australian awakening, the Scots maintained the pressure and took off with a new try from Bayliss in the 67th minute after a spectacular action initiated by Graham (22-6).

Scotland hit the nail on the head in the 70th minute with a try from Finn Russell, after a good series of passes, even if the conversion was missed (27-6). Australia reduced the gap in the 74th minute with a Harry Potter try, transformed by Lolesio (27-13).
